For any of you who are new to the posts I have in the past made statements that I feel the spread of soccer in America is a liberal plot. Let me explain why.

1 In the 90s kids playing soccer was rare. Now it is common.
2 There is no market supported soccer popularity. No TV. No people in the stands. Kids dont follow soccer players.
3 There has always been some dislike of American football among the left. Militaristic, violent.

And since the left controls the direction of education in America why did kids start playing soccer?

3. I'm liberal and I love NFL and college football. So do all of my liberal friends. We also played football in high school when we got tired of soccer. (And by "got tired of," I definitely mean we weren't nearly good enough to keep playing at the high school level.)

4. Education in American really has nothing to do with soccer. Most kids play in neighborhood rec leagues.

1) swamp asserts people aren't exposed to conservative viewpoints
2) fairly typical counterexample is given
3) counterexample is not flattering, therefore,
4) it never happened
5) lather, rinse, repeat to the end of the universe.

My point is that it is much easier to only be exposed to liberal ideas than only be exposed to Conservative ideas.

This point is almost indisputable.

All the rest of your pitch is just your standard "All Conservatives are crazy" bit.

2. Soccer isn't very fun to watch. But it is fun to play.

1 Maybe we should put it in the late 80s and early 90s. There was very little soccer back then.

2 So a game that no one enjoys watching is popular becuase it is fun to play? And how did they discover this? And what makes it fun to play. Americans are fatter than ever, and out of all the main team sports soccer is the least fat friendly.

3 So you have never heard a liberal make the point that organized team football is a negative for children? That soccer is a more global and community sport?

4 I see kids in school leagues, but you might be right on that one. Still community organizing is also a more liberal genre.

Never noticed this at the time.

Never said no one is exposed to conservative viewpoints.

Just said the message in pop culture is OVERWELMINGLY liberal.

So it is much easier and much more common for a person to have only been exposed to a liberal message.
